Residents of River’s View, a village located on the border of Region 10, now have improved access to potable water with the completion of a water supply improvement project to the tune of approximately $7M, according to the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI).

This project was executed by a GWI in-house team in collaboration with the River’s View Village council and was funded by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) under the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme.

A release yesterday from GWI said that the works included the installation of almost four kilometers of pipelines, the upgrading of two wells and the installation of new photovoltaic systems in the community of approximately 1100 residents
